damn. Looks like I might need a new flywheel according to SB. Its stock. all 178k on it. and I'm increasing horses and hoping to keep the car longer. So a few more questions. (thanks again mike!)
Aluminum or steel? Single or dual mass? Benefits of lightweight? Less lifetime with lightweight? Clutchmasters or Southbend? and of course, pricing if you have it. Thanks so much for your time and help mike!

Single mass, aftermarket flywheels do not come in a dual mass version.
A lighter flywheel allows the engine to be more responsive to the throttle since there is less rotating weight. Dont want to go too light since that will also make moving the car from a stop on the street a little harder and will need more rpms to over come the fact that the flywheel speed will slow down more as the clutch is being applied. Lighter flywheel loses inertia quicker as the clutch is engaged and when shift gears.
For SB clutch orders I offer the SB billet steel flywheels for $400.

I offer a Billet steel flywheel package for the FX300 or FX400 6 puck for $950 shipped in the 48 states. That package brings the cost of the flywheel down to $325 vs the $472.50 retail price tag or $120 off my normal sale prices which is why the package setup is a great deal. http://www.ringer-racing.com/product...=4&productId=5
When my customers order a SB clutch with one of the SB flywheels they also get a set of flywheel bolts and pressure bolts included with their order at no extra charge, the clutch kit is also a modified version done by SB which increases the clamping pressure and is also included at no extra charge. My customers that order the CM clutch/flywheel package also get a set of flywheel bolts(non stretch) and pressure plate bolts at no charge, just trying to give my customers the most for their money.

Yeah I wasn't sure which one you had seeing that they show the 97 coming with either the 12v or 30v, I guess there was a mid year split there.
